A REVULSION OF FEELING. The ttttaul of the London Strikes to AS* cept the Terms of Duel? Companies After Alleged Tacit Acqnlesrense by the leaders. Cantes a Change la Pablte Opinion -Huron says the Men Are Not to be Caught by the Kin I of Chaff Offered Them While They Hold the Whip Hand. liONOOS, Sept 0.—Public opinion, which had been up to Saturday even tug almost a unit In sympathy with the strikers in their long struggle against the ; dock companies, has experienced a revulsion which can not tail to have an Influence upon tile Ultimate result of their fight The action of Messrs. Burns and Tillett, the leaders of the men, lu signifying their approval of a proposition for a compromise made by Cardinal Manning and the Lord Mayor, and then, when the proposal had been unconditionally accepted by the dock managers, deliberately repudiating it, is almost everywhere condemned. The Lord Mayor yesterday asserted that Burns unquestionably accepted the compromise proposed, and says that now the men have rejected it he washes his hands of the whole business. Hints are not wauling that the leaders of the meu have ends of their own to compass which are to be furthered only by a continuance of the strike, and that they do not hesitate for purely selfish considerations to sacrifice the best interests of their williug dupes. Burns himself yesterdsy denied that he ever accepted the terms proposed, and insisted that the meu are certain to bring the dock managers to their senses, and that Thursday will sea a complete victory for the men. He said that the strikers had excelent reasous for rejecting the compromise by virtue of whtoh the increased pay for which they coutended was be deferred until tns 1st of January The dock managers, he says, were Willing enough to end their troubles tn this way, as this would give them over Mtree smiths iu which to prepare for the change,wud long before Ihs end of that time they could have ousted every mar concerned iu the agreement and filled their places with others, who would bt perfectly willing to work at any terras offered them. The men, he says, are no' to be caught by this sort of chaff. The) are well aware that they hold the whip hand at present, and they will not consent to yield their advantage for a deferred advance of wages, the fruits of which they are never likely to reap.

A FARM! R’S ARGUMENT. hat Hi Bat 11 Say About th« Iniquities of I tie High Tariff. farmer S nalley, of Caledonia, inn, writes In a recent tetter to the ew York E seeing Post as follows: Sir: Betse f kb’ I her been to town •-day. Mist* r Editor, t’ get a load of .ndfn’ twii e for my 1 harvest and igar for he preservin', an', as Susan ■that’s our oldest girl that's to hum -is goln’ to be married this fall after askin', the old lady insists on the ouse bein’ painted ag’in, an’ so I ought a lit o’ paint; the gracious nows, 1 d m’t See bow we can afford i. While id town, our editor—he’s tariff ref< rmer, an’ has got me to be sight mo e oi one than 1 was whan quit the act'ry down in Connecticut a’ came 1 ITestto farmin’—he give me copy of 'our paper, an’ I have been endin’ si) oe 1 got hum those letters rom farn ers from everywhere It’s •ow’ful «freshln’, as passen says, to ee how : aany other farmers all over his big h ml o’ ourn is gettin’ the fact a to thoii heads that down under all hese thii gs that troublous farmers so, is the cm >se of them all, liee that dod--otted (s< use the oussin’ but I'm getin’ mad) perfected tariff. We’ve been illowln’ hat the reason why we had to little i aoney in our pockets when •very thi n’ was paid for was because he railr tads robbed us, an’ because he Gov trnment didn’t print money snougli, in’ because the elevator men beat us « n grades and weight, an* because so ne one they cal) “Big four’’ down to Shooawgo sent meat ready dressed m our cities, an’ all that. An’ we’ve b ten runnin' the Legislatures, an’ pas: in' all sorts of laws that some Teller t) at wanted to go to the Legislature : aid would just fix the thing all right An’ so fur from gettin’ better, ’s fer a) I can see, it’s getting worse. You se 9, us farmers don’t spend much time ci pherin’ on such matters. The war, v ith its big prices, sent us along a boomin’, an'-, since the bottom droppd out we’ve had just all we could do to keep our heads out of water an’ while wn felt that somethin’ vas out o’ kilter, we couldn’t spend time to study it out for ourselves . It is as clear as day to me, an’ I edge from the letters that it is gettli g a heap dearer to lots of others, that re won’t get any help that will do us any lutin’ good until we can buy j ust egsactly as we sell, under a comj edition as wide as the world.

uu> 1 man t start in tur to ten you what you know a sight better than 1 can 1 ell It. but to tell you about our shop [Jin’ to-day, an’ what a dose of this perfective I got. I s’pose you’ ’e hearn tell of the twine trust, hevt't you, Mr. Editor? Well, the diffe-ence ’twist you an'me is that I’ve hearn of it and felt it—felt it ^ nqri iqeket.,eir~an’ that’s bein’ techea . that way so often nowadays that it is gett n’ mighty sensitive. Two years ago i paid fourteen cents a pound for the best manila twine. That was before the farmers had said that they didr’t want free twine, and before the: s pesky trusts had got to be such prh ate affairs that what they did was 1’t any concern oh yours or mine or t le President’s, you know. To-day I pi id eighteen cents a pound for just the same kind of twine. I saw a letter froi i the secretary of tbis trust in whi ch he said that the raw material hat riz. Wages isn't raw material, is t ley? Well, on to-day’s deal that II tt e rise of the twine trust jest lifted |6 mt o' my pocket slick an* clean. Thin, only last year, when Betsy wa ated to put up her preserves, wo go, fourteen pounds of qpgar for #1. Tt is year the sugar trust have run it uj —or down—so we get nine pounds fo .* $1. That made jest twenty-five pounds less sugar for a ftve-dollar b 11, you see, and at last year’s prices that is #1.78 more than I have ■ trusted.” Then, on the paint an' (11, ns near as I can figgor it out, the < rhite-lead trust and the linseed-oil ! rust borrowed a couple dollars more o be paid back to me in a home narket, posserbly. I tail makes 19.78 taken jest for nothin’. Now, let’s see what that means from my point My cows average me a pound of butter a day, an’ Pm gettin’ a shilling a pound for it It wiU take one cow seventy-eight days to earn what these trusts took out of m& to say nothin’ of tho feed and work; or they’re oome and taken a two-hundred-and- fiftypound pig out of my pen, or they’ve took an acre of good corn, or they’ve taken all the profit there is in an acre of my winter wheat, leavin’ me the coet about paid. Now, when this sort of thing is goin’ on all rouud the ring, is it any wonder that all farmers feel that somethin’ is hurtin’ them mighty bad, and that some of us, who can see what it is. got so all-fired mad? Ther was a feller onct down in your city who imperdently asked folks: ‘What are yon goin’ to do about it?” when they hinted that he was a-stealin’ too much, an’ the trusts are slickin' their th&mbe in their arm-holes and cockin’ their eyes at us an’ askin' us the same question. Well, Tweed found his answer, and they’ll find theirs. Meantime we can only growl and save a little harder. TANNER'S ESTIMATES. Tanner, the Pension Commissioner, nas a fatal facility in the use of his tongue. He can not bridle that unruly member. It attacks both friend and foe. Now he is in a quarrel with a Democratic editor, who retorts that he must himself follow the advice he has given his staff, aud never flirt with a fool nor fight with a cripple. Agate he Is engaged in controversy with a Republican Congressman, and seems to think himself rhetorically picturesque in saying that his impression of him is that if his brains wore blown

Interior Is nobody. The President id important only as ho adopts the Tanner idea of pensions. “Bat, say,” ho gsclaitned to a reporter at Ilmira, “wait till you see my estimate lor next year. I am debating whether my report %hall ask for 10,000,000 or 1115,000,00a Won’t there bo damning all along the line when those Follows se4an increase o^#30,000,900 asked BrP” * What the needs of the meritorious veterans demand the generosity of the Nation will accord. But there will be, as there ought to be, decided impatience with demands urged in the insolent fashion which Tanner flippantly adopts The war olosed in 1865. It might reasonably be supposed that svery really lmoritonous claim fos pension was adjudicated within four years thereafter. In 1869 tho total number of pensioners was 198,686, and tho annual disbursement in their behalf was some #28,000,000. In 1888, notwithstanding the casualties occurring during twenty years, deaths, remarriages, tike attainment of majority by minor children, etc., the lumber of pensioners increased from 200,000, in round numbers, to 450,000, and tho disbursements from #28,000,000 to #80,000,000. The arrears act of 1879, with its monstrous invitations to perjury, is responsible for this colossal increase. Mr. Tanner, the great surplus destroyer, now proposes to ask for #30,000,000 more; that is. more than as much again as was paid in 1869. There is a screw loose somewhere. The union of the claim agent, the demaguA and the mer^feary is too muct^pPor the integrit^wv the Treasury. ■ - Mr. Tanner fancies he has at his back the entire Grand Army, hut if this were so it would furnish no excuse for a wholesale raid upon the National resources. Open tho door as Tanner would open it and no limit whatever can lie put on claim-agent rapacity. Instead of #30,000,000 the demand before the close of the Harrison Administration would be for twice that sum, and this, coupled with the other free expenditure contemplated, would oompol a grievous increase of taxation.—Chicago Times.

In matters of policy we have had frequent occasion to oppose it It was, however, honest In its belief, as we have been honest in ours. But to place the name of a dishonorably discharged soldier next to that of a veteran who did his whole duty, and to support him for life in spite of his crime—that Is an act on which a difference of opinion would seem to be impossible.—'Sf.

This is Mshoneism and the “Old Dominion” is threatened now with a domination such as it has never before known. It has been chastised with whips, but should Mahone prevail it will be chastised with scorpions. The white v people of the State will see to it that no such disaster falls upon them.— Chicago Herald. Race War in Mississippi. Mississippi negroes are forming “alliances” under the leadership of a black scoundrel named Oliver Cromwell. Raoe wars are feared, and Governor Lowry has sent troops to the scene of the disturbance caused by the massing of five hundred armed blacks. The “Southern outrages,” so frequently hojwled about in the North, are frequently caused by the negroce themselves, and the people who are removed from the dangers attendant upon an insurrection of ignorant, crlminalled blacks should inform themselves upon the true status of affairs before damning the. Southern people, who rarely resort to extreme measures unless the occasion vitally demand* it Oliver Cromwell should be severely dealt with and hit mob dispersed, though the process 6e a severe one. Fanaticism rules the Southern negro when excited by au-:h desperadoes as this modern Cromwell and fanaticism and ignorance are dangerous in the extreme.—Chicago Mail Protection Ethically Considered. : Of course, the effect of protect'on upon the morals of the protected must in the end bo very bad.
